MA P P IN G URBAN IN E QUI T Y
The graphic representations of mapping urban inequity in two different areas of Philadelphia discusses the relation of density and safety. The graphics depict areas of building density, abandoned properties and plots, and points of pedestrian density, as well as the subjective perception of comfort and safety within the area.

ETHIO P I A N J AZZ B A R
West Philadelphia’s Ethiopian culture thrives, and this jazz bar aims to amplify it further. This adaptive reuse project functions as a mixed-use commercial-residential space featuring a series of interlocking living units and an open performance space on the lower level. The play with varying heights was central to the design.

This Schuylkill River grandstand design had a more intense focus on passive sustainable systems, as well as a more comprehensive look at detailing the structure. Rain gardens, bioswales, and a resilient foundation protect the building f rom flooding of the river just feet away

FOR NEW CITIES
This studio, taught by members of Zaha Hadid Architects, aimed to make use of the newest in “architectural intelligence”. This included AI-based image generation as well as in-depth agent-based simulations. The project goal was to create a modular prototype for a city given a general geographic condition, taking inspiration from other city grids, AI imagry from Midjourney, and simulations done in the video game Cities : Skylines 2

GENERATIVE URBAN DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
This ultra-dense, mega-development in Bangkok, Thailand was a project based on computational generative design. The studio promoted creating a rule-based geometric system, a series of measurable goals, and a system for automatically generating, evaluating, and evolving a very large number of design options to generate the urban forms and evaluate their performances. The iterative explorations of models allowed for detirmining the optimum performance satisfying individual parameters, but also to explore the nuances of balancing trade-offs
